Due to the development of tea culture over thousands of years, the processing of tea leaves has evolved various methods, resulting in different varieties of tea. The aroma of brewed tea varies greatly depending on the processing technique.

1. Phoenix Single Bush: Elegant and Fragrant

Phoenix Single Bush tea is the finest among Phoenix teas, renowned for its "beautiful shape, emerald color, rich fragrance, and sweet taste." Its characteristics include straight, plump, and glossy leaves, a naturally elegant floral aroma, a rich, mellow, refreshing, and sweet flavor with a unique mountain honey aftertaste, a bright orange-yellow liquor, green leaves with red edges, and exceptional durability for multiple infusions. These qualities define the unique color, aroma, and taste of Phoenix Single Bush tea.

2. Wuyi Rock Tea: Fragrant as Cinnamon, Mellow as Narcissus

Wuyi Rock Tea is often described as "no fragrance surpasses cinnamon, no mellowness surpasses narcissus." Narcissus and cinnamon are the flagship varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea. Cinnamon tea features tightly rolled leaves with a dark green color, a strong and sharp cinnamon-like aroma, a rich, sweet, and slightly stimulating taste, a bright orange-yellow to golden liquor, and soft, red-edged green leaves. The traditional heavily fermented and well-roasted type highlights the inherent aroma of Wuyi Cinnamon, producing a pale-yellow liquor with a long-lasting fragrance.

3. Ancient Tree Dianhong: A Luxurious and Deep Fragrance

Ancient Tree Dianhong is typically made from tea leaves harvested from trees over 300 years old. However, such ancient trees are extremely rare, and genuine products are scarce in the market, so caution is advised. Its aroma is deep and rich, embodying the distinctive fragrance of black tea, with a sweet and lingering aftertaste.

4. Iron Goddess of Mercy: Fragrance Lasting Seven Infusions

Iron Goddess of Mercy is the pinnacle of oolong tea, characterized by tightly rolled, plump, and heavy leaves with a dark green color, resembling a dragonfly's head, spiral body, and frog legs. When brewed, it produces a golden amber liquor with a natural orchid fragrance, a rich, sweet, and fresh taste, and a long-lasting aftertaste, known as the "Yin Yun" (charm). Its high and enduring aroma makes it "fragrant even after seven infusions." The most captivating feature of Iron Goddess of Mercy is its pronounced orchid fragrance, which fills the room upon opening the lid.

5. Biluochun: The Astonishing Fragrance

Biluochun, one of China's top ten famous teas, has a long history and exceptional quality, making it a treasure among green teas. When brewed, it creates a cloud-like swirl in the cup with a refreshing aroma, beloved by tea enthusiasts. It is known for its "copper wire strands, spiral shape, fuzzy appearance, and rare combination of tenderness (buds and leaves) and freshness (color, aroma, and taste)." The finished tea features slender, spiral-shaped leaves covered in fine hairs, with a vibrant green color. Brewed tea is fresh, fragrant, and clear, with tender and even leaves. High-quality Biluochun can be brewed by adding water first and then tea leaves, which will still slowly sink and release their aroma, a sign of robust buds unmatched by other teas.
